Disappointing Tacos, Overpriced
My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing, particularly regarding the tacos. I ordered the shrimp tacos, which turned out to be a significant mistake. The menu stated $10, and we assumed it was for two tacos, but it was only for one. Consequently, we were surprised to pay $25 (including tip) for just two tacos and a small portion of tortilla chips. The tacos themselves were very small, almost like 'taquitos' rather than traditional tacos. They resembled a salad with a lot of greens, topped with unseasoned, likely steamed shrimp, and a sauce applied only to half of the taco. The only redeeming quality was the generous amount of shrimp per taco, about 4-5 pieces. However, at $10 per taco, I expected a much higher effort and quality. This was a sad showing, and I hope the business takes this feedback to improve, as this practice doesn't seem sustainable.

Great Chips & Salsa, Okay Burrito
I visited AleSmith in Miramar and had a steak burrito. The chips and salsa were some of the best I’ve ever had, period! They had the perfect spice and were perfectly crisp. The burrito itself was huge, and the guacamole was tasty. However, the steak itself was pretty bland and very oily. All in all, it was a fine burrito, just not amazing. The prices weren’t too bad considering the portion size.

Disappointing Chicken Taco Experience
For $10, I expected the chicken taco to be delicious. Instead, it was like a grilled chicken salad with hardly any dressing, served in a tortilla. It was dry and flavorless, making it the worst taco I’ve ever had. It was also piled so high with lettuce that it was impossible to eat. I suppose it might be good if you were looking for something very healthy. Perhaps charging $5 and using fewer ingredients would allow it to be eaten like a taco, and adding a sauce would improve it.

Long wait, no drinks, disappointing lunch
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. I waited a half hour for a panini, which meant I couldn’t even enjoy my lunch. To make matters worse, they had no drinks for sale and didn't seem to consider this an issue. I do not recommend this place.

Burnt Food, Slow Service, Great Staff
My experience involved a significant wait time of 45 minutes for a flatbread, which arrived burnt on the bottom. While it was replaced free of charge, the situation was compounded by the restaurant shutting down operations mid-dinner rush due to being backed up. The gal taking orders, however, provided wonderful customer service and handled the issues respectfully, which is why I'm giving an extra star. She was the reason I am giving an extra star.

Ice cold food despite good taste
I'm sad to write this review. I have no problem waiting for food; 20-40 minutes is perfectly acceptable. I ordered the "steak fries and quesadilla" at Alesmith Brewing during their Fright Night Halloween event. While the food looked good and tasted great, it was unfortunately ice cold. I didn't have time to complain and request another plate. However, I will never order from this truck again. I hope this critique helps them improve.

Best Surf & Turf Burrito Ever!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I'm a big fan of surf & turf burritos, and this place serves the best surf & turf I've ever had. I visited on a Sunday at noon and was pleased to find no line and an empty restaurant, making for a very peaceful dining experience. I will definitely be ordering here again!
